Your eyes, pretty little windows See the world as you stare through the sun You lie so much you believe it, The only validation is you’re naïve and oh so young. Get here the world is full of stories, Some true, others piss in the wind Those first left clues for you to follow Wise words are fool’s gold to some As they stare, through the sun. Stare right through the sun. And now you know how the game goes And now you know the score and how to make runs Believe the lie and deceit Loaded speech deceitful tongue. And some may say that you will come to find, That the dreams in your eyes fly away, to the sun. Stare right through the sun I will be the sunlight that burns away the rain I will chase the night from day, deliver you from pain Burn away she said, away she said for you No, I will stop the sunlight I will end the rain I will chase the day from night Never ending pain Run away she said, away she said from me

No, I won’t believe In empty skies and in dead seeds Would I lie to you? About all the things that we know are true What becomes of me and you? God does not play dice, no. I, won’t concede What they want me to think and to be Faith, or hypocrisy What do you believe? Would they lie to you? About all the things that we know are true And oh, the dreams held by me and you God does not play dice, I fucking do, I do. Work for your life, you work for your grave Smile at your wife for the things that you made Now you’re burned out Work for your life, you work for your grave.

Simple Sky 04:13
You, the water’s clear So burn it and pull away You, the fire’s here So clean it and wash away Ain’t life great? Red eye ash again Simple sky we’re all so high man And we’ll sit and watch that garden grow Suicide we’re all still alive man And we’ll sit and watch that garden grow We all turn to ash That man right there he’ll tell you lies He’s just a point of view He’ll preach and teach and say he’s right Knows what is good for you What’s good for you is in your hands I tell ya true Would I lie to you? Where the water falls, the garden grows Simple sky we’re all so high man And we’ll sit and watch that garden grow Suicide we’re all still alive man And we’ll sit and watch that garden grow We all break some trust In life indeed we must We all turn to ash in the end

You see a lion amongst men He never breaks never bends He gets his way he has control Claw and tooth the snake will lose, on and on it goes. And all your walls came crashing down You didn’t see nor hear a sound Your lack of thought got in the way So sad, it is what it is Suddenly the price you pay is more than you can give It drains you, it drains you Tell me how does it feel To break a bond, fake and steal Cut the reins and cry out failure So wrong and you will see Second guess integrity Burn the bridge and find out regret Shadows and memories What once was will never be Revenge so sweet and soothing Pass the time with suicide I will have my vengeance In reflection rats may find A lack of heart, and absent mind Can’t ride on coat tails ‘till the end Suddenly the price you pay is more than you can give It drains you, it drains you Tell me how does it feel? To break a bond, fake and steal Cut the reins and cry out failure So wrong and you will see Second guess integrity Burn the bridge and find out regret Shadows and memories What once was will never be Revenge so sweet and soothing Pass the time with suicide I will have my vengeance Storms wash away the peacefulness So tranquil yet an empty nest And scars remain they will remind Your wounds will heal given time

Snow White 04:23
Well my friends you’re the same as me I know how you think, I know how you want to be And I know you will agree And you’d do the same as I did Every time that she tried to breath It’s my hands that she felt impede her And that look within her eyes Tells me you know she’s gonna die Mary was a little lamb Her face turned white as snow And everywhere that I went Her face was sure to show Mary Mary quite contrary I believe that it was you that we were sent to deceive Its fine Well you’ll find peace down the line inside And I still insist we’re the same And we’re all a bit insane Mary was a little lamb Her face turned white as snow And everywhere that I went Her face was sure to show Mary Mary quite contrary I believe that it was you that we were sent to deceive

Maybe I am an illusion And everything that I think is real is just a lie Maybe I Have a suggestion Look around and see what’s there. What you love and what you hold dear? Maybe I am an illusion Your strawman is real and your debt goes on and on and on On with the action now You’re the only one who is brave If you can’t see that you’re a memory Well maybe I I am an illusion but Your strawman is real and your debt goes on and on and on Forever What you love, you hold dear Better hold them close and near ‘Cause in the end you’ll come to find That the only one you fooled was you Every time that you think, every time you stop Every time you know your life is fantastic I got news for you, you better listen too I won’t repeat myself Every time that you stress, every time that you bleed Every time you go to work for your family It’s a well hid fake, just a cunning ruse Gotta know that you, you You are just a lie

You lifeless drone Don’t piss and moan Six million dead awoke the beast A billion dead will only make you smile On your own And all alone While the monster falls asleep He was the only one that ever let you be Find your seat and watch Israel dance And on it goes A lonesome throne While your star falls to the ground Smashing through and never made a sound You will see You’re as low as me While your friend may be a giant Slavery to tyrants won’t guarantee Find your seat and watch Israel dance One more dead son, war is won Then peace gets in the way Bullets shine and stars will rain Love will fall and bomb again Blindly free, kill for me Hold your heart and praise your god One more dead son War is won, then peace gets in the way

Fool Me 03:57
Free speech offends me I couldn’t care at all So bleak cannot think Debate will conquer all It will Show me another way Show me a better way Fool me once that’s my fault Fool me twice that’s you Surprise when I bite you Bark like a dog, I’ll never silence you P.C. Protect me A needle in the straw Safe space About face Ignore another war Raped minds Hate crimes You walk before you crawl Caged lives Caged minds New order pulls the strings They will Show me another way Show me a better way Fool me once that’s my fault Fool me twice that’s you Surprise when I bite you Bark like a dog, I’ll never silence you They will try and silence me They will try, they will fail

Mother what do I have to do? To make it home to you Another will never ever do I know you feel the same What do I have to do? For you To make it home to you When you’re oh so far away Brother say it isn’t true ‘cause I’ll believe what you say Never ever live again Seems I’ll die today What do I have to do for you? To make it home to you When you’re oh so far away Mother what do I have to do? To make it home to you Another will never ever do I know you feel the same What do I have to do for you? To make it home to you When you’re oh so far away Mirror, mirror on the wall Who’s the brightest of them all? Don’t let the stars go away Come and shine another day What do I have to do for you? To make it home to you When you’re all so far away And What has it all come to? Another soldier dies today
